The following is a declaration of the concept "equality_comparable" from the <concepts> header of a C++20 standard library. This concept is satisfied by any type T such that for lvalues a and b of type T, the expressions a==b and a!=b as well as the reverse b==a and b!=a compile, and their results are convertible to a type that satisfies the concept "boolean-testable":
The rule of three (also known as the law of the big three or the big three) is a rule of thumb in C++ (prior to C++11) that claims that if a class defines any of the following then it should probably explicitly define all three: [1] destructor; copy constructor; copy assignment operator; These three functions are special member functions. If ...
C++14 allows the lookup to be done via an arbitrary type, so long as the comparison operator can compare that type with the actual key type. [16] This would allow a map from std::string to some value to compare against a const char* or any other type for which an operator< overload is available.
C++20 eventually accepted the refined design of concept. Concepts are an example of structural typing. As generics in Java and C# have some similarities to C++'s templates, the role of concepts there is played by interfaces. However, there is one important difference between concepts and interfaces: when a template parameter is required to ...
Assigning values into an A68 union variable is automatic, the type is "tagged" to the variable, but pulling the value back out is syntactically awkward as a conformity-clause is required. ALGOL 68 example: union(int, char) x:=666; printf(($3d l$, (x|(int i):i) )) C++ example:
Function identity now also includes trailing requires-clauses (P1971) Constrained non-template functions have been removed <compare> is now available in freestanding implementations [134] std::spans typedef was changed from index_type to size_type to be consistent with the rest of the standard library [135]
The C++ Standard Library provides base classes unary_function and binary_function to simplify the definition of adaptable unary functions and adaptable binary functions. Adaptable function objects are important, because they can be used by function object adaptors: function objects that transform or manipulate other function objects.
A class in C++ is a user-defined type or data structure declared with any of the keywords class, struct or union (the first two are collectively referred to as non-union classes) that has data and functions (also called member variables and member functions) as its members whose access is governed by the three access specifiers private, protected or public.
